Our Why

What is Imua Literacy? 

• Imua Literacy is a podcast dedicated to moving Hawaiʻi forward with local literacy solutions. Our hopes as writers of the Hawaii State Literacy Plan (2020) is to create a platform where we can highlight some of the obstacles in literacy from keiki to kūpuna that our families, schools, and communities face with local solutions.
